GnomeZome's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Shingeki no Bahamut - Cerberus]

*heh*
I am not a big fan of bikini armor in general, but I actually thing the very detailed and layered Gif aspects make this pretty amusing.
The way I can see the bristling ferocity of the dog mitts is pretty amazing, and gives and great sense on energy and liveliness.
You even caught very little things like shifting shadow, and the sway of the ties on the bottom.
I think having the mitts blink in unison gives a good signal or co-ordination between the two.
I honestly lovely to see you mess around more with light and shadow, but this is still quite impressive, and the dog fur was #worth.
Thank you for making this.

[[ANIMATION] Shego [KIM POSSIBLE]]

"You go gir....... She? She-go?" - (Ron Stoppable ((at some point (((probably.)))
This is an excellent charter study of that pure green She-go energy.
I really enjoy your work, and have been enjoying seeing what you put out since that really cool metroid short.
You bring such amazing '80 lazer disc flow to your work, and I am always paried in nostalgia when I see your work.
It certainly reminds me of early love for things like "Dirty Pair", "Slayers", and "Record of the Lotus War."
Keep doing what your doing with bringing those classic Seinen vibes to modern day.
Thank you for making this.

[Night out]

By the joy of light and dark!
I am a huge fan of the dynamics of light and shadow in general, but I real do enjoy the nature of your wisps here.
The have a slight "tar boy" energy to them, but with much more relaxed vibe overall.
I am going to go a ahead and follow you so I can keep tabs on your work, as I hope to see more from you.
Thank you for making this.

[Super Circuit Peach]

"Fast and the furious: Mushroom Drift"
That is an impressive number of shades of Pink!
The way the shades are layered really renders a very dynamic "drift energy!"
Also, I really enjoy your use of blue accents, it's a clever mover after shifting some of the pinks into a more purple spectrum, allowing the bright blue to be distinct, but still complementary.
Thank you for making this.

[2B Outfits]

Very interesting stylization!
The first piece, especially with much of the face obscured Ms. Bellum (The Power Puff Girls) vibe.
Over all both poses are an interesting combination of flat and awkward pose that it almost reminds me of a body at a crime scene.
That's not meant to be insulting, just for 2b, who is often presented as prim and proper and stiff, it's quite a erratic stance.
It's a nice variation.
Thank you for making this.

[Coloured Inktober]

I get some solid Umezu vibes from this.
I really like the fraught intensity coming from the pitch darkness outside the car, the scattered intensity of the eyes.
Your pen work caught both of those quite nicely.
The hands are oddly nerve raking in their stiff, fraught, detail, with the rest of the figure laid so flat.
In the colored version I find the dip in color on the figure's torso, but it's an interesting detail.
Thank you for making this.

Linttop responds:

Thank you I’m glad you like it!

[Lizzie]

Feisty!
I really enjoy your use of light and shadows in this.
The soft and blurry edges of how the light falls, in combination with the lily pads, gives an odd Monet vibe.
As for Lizzie her self, the face is playfully aggressive, and you borrowed all the right notes on green Hair from Jennifer Walters, with some nice ascents of lighter green on the tips. Th tail seems a little disproportionate, kinda like an African Fat-Tailed Gecko's, but it's possible since she is actively bearing teeth it is some kind of "puff-up" to assert dominance.
If the tail could puff up, it might also help with buoyancy, which could be relevant with the swamp setting.
The Mangrove like trees in the background are a nice touch as well, in part because they compliment the curves of Lizzie's tail.
Way to make that money flexing what you got, friend!
Thank you for making this.

DaRR1o responds:

Wow, what a comment. Thanks you...I had no idea what a Fat-Tailed Gecko was until now

[Cruisin' Around]

It's a nice Swoop!
It's kinda stuck, design wise between "The Jetson's" curves, and "My Life as a Teenage Robot's" dense outlines, with a nod to the color scheme of "Whatever Happened To Robot Jones?" that really comes together nicely.
It's very warmly, and enjoyably composed.
I do hate to nit pick this last part, but the "Star Dancer" because of stylization of the "D" winds looking like a lower case "B" (b) where a lower case "D" (d) would of course be actually pointing left.
To be fair it could be a style choice, like the "R" in "Toys R' Us", but I felt the need to be direct in my feed back.
Final note, I like the fact the helmet mirrors the design of the bike in some ways, but perhaps having the face shield design match the head light a little more would really coordinate it.
Thank you for making this.

funktoonmix responds:

thanks for the feedback!

[Scoopz - 2 HOT]

This pretty cute.
Like, the freckles seem to be the chocolate chips (ala Mint Chocolate Chip) is really very creative.
Also, I really enjoy the absractionist look of the Rainbow Sprinkles and Confetti flakes in her hair.
In any case, I hope you all can keep it together and beat the heat.
Thank you for making this

[The Ladleler]

O that is so cool.
I am surprised you don't have a hot-plate-like-object on the bottom of the cauldron, it would be an excellent chance to show of your trademark flames.
I really like the the blue and white stripes, as it's a solid call back to uniform heraldry, and the spiked notch on the ladle is choice.
I suppose if he wrangled in competitive cooking he would be near the top of the ladle boards.
Thank you for making this.

jouste responds:

thanks! and yeah I did miss the chance to heat up that cauldron with one of my flames! I think I wanted it to be a more "cartoon smell" type of shape in this one.
